CVE-2024-5023Network attack vector

Authenticated server file read via Git flag injection

Published May 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Command injection in Netflix ConsoleMe before 1.4.0 allows remote authenticated users to read server files through templated-resource requests. The self-service handler passes a JSON-supplied resource identifier to Git checkout without an option terminator, allowing a filename that begins with a Git flag to be interpreted as an option and disclose the named file through error output. Exposure requires a nonempty cache_resource_templates.repositories configuration, and reads are limited to files accessible to the ConsoleMe process.
